报告摘要:

Environmentally harmonious, clean, and safe scientific technologies to address energy needs, as well as pollution and climatic change, are the recent subject of much research. Photocatalysis, in which abundant solar energy could be harnessed, advances the development of sustainable, non-hazardous, and economic technologies. As shown below figure, in the past half-century, many scientists have studied the effect of UV-Visible light irradiation on various inorganic and organic semiconducting catalysts in relation to the decomposition of H2O to produce H2 and O2, degradation of various pollutants, organic transformation, CO2 reduction with H2O to produce useful substances, photo-induced super hydrophilicity, and dye-sensitized solar cells. Since then, many chemists have further investigated the development of various effective and efficient photocatalytic materials, especially, which decompose H2O into H2 and O2 under sunlight irradiation with high efficiency and their practical realization is just around the corner.

In my lectures (Nov. 8th and 22nd) I will explain a history of research progress in photocatalysis and photocatalytic materials for your further development and breakthrough achievement to enhance the real application of photocatalysis for future generations.
